It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So this time in two weeks the pressies will have been opened, the dinner devoured and we'll all be dozing around the fire. Then it'll all be over for yet another year.

I am such a sucker for Christmas and love buying people presents. So while I can't yet blog about the presents I've brought I can tell you all about the wrapping and the preparations! 

Cute wrapping paper is a must! I looked everywhere for the vintage style brown parcel paper but stumbled across this cute brown paper with tiny red reindeers on whilst doing my food shop.

At just £2 for 3 meters at Tesco I just couldn't resist. It's super thick which makes present wrapping so much easier,  No longer will sharp edges year through my paper! 



To make my parcels extra cute I brought red polka dot bows and ribbon which came together in a pack and plain brown parcel tags from Paper Chase. All together it came to like £4 which I think it a bargain as my presents look extra festive. 

 I placed a piece of the ribbon onto the gift tags just to make them less plain.

And finally my Christmas cards are Minnie and Micky and cost £1 for 10(!!!) from Primark.

I think I'll be a bit upset when my friends and family rip these little works of art ha! 

So have you got any tips and tricks for wrapping? Let me know.
